The previous few years has seen some iconic moments for Rihanna, together with two epic being pregnant bulletins — one at this yr’s Met Gala and one throughout her 2023 Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present efficiency — and getting acknowledged for her vogue sense by none aside from Anna Wintour. What we haven’t seen (or heard) a lot of from Rihanna, nevertheless, is new music. She simply launched her first tune in years as a part of the upcoming The Smurfs Film’s soundtrack, and I’m dying over a few of these fan reactions.
Rihanna is voicing the a part of Smurfette within the upcoming children film, and simply days after we bought a trailer for The Smurf Film, Rihanna has launched the only “Pal of Mine.” The upbeat, synth-heavy tune sounds prefer it was made for kid-friendly dance events, which wasn’t what followers have been anticipating, however a lot of them have been simply relieved to listen to new music from the artist. Feedback on the YouTube video included:

No, these reactions aren’t precisely glowing with reward, however as they mentioned, after two years, followers are keen to take no matter she’s serving. Rihanna’s earlier launch was “Carry Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Perpetually in 2022, and that additionally got here after a number of years of musical silence.
Many identified that “Pal of Mine” has the potential to be a summer season membership anthem, if not an earworm from the children’ repeated taking part in of the soundtrack after seeing the film, which hits the 2025 film calendar in July. Numerous followers have been additionally satisfied that Rihanna is trolling us. They mentioned:

The Smurfs Film has allowed Rihanna to do greater than create new music. For one, her model Savage X Fenty is placing out an lingerie line based mostly on the animated blue creatures. She’s additionally hoping that lending her voice to the film will earn her some cool factors along with her children RZA and Riot, who she shares with A$AP Rocky. She’ll have to attend a bit for Child No. 3 to have the ability to respect her abilities although.
